I have Plat status on AA for one year (thanks to a Plat challenge). I was hoping to be travelling through HKG at some point this year to finally visit the Pier/Wing lounges ^ but it doesn't look like it, at least not on OW.

I will be in NRT for 5 months and have 25K points on AA. I would like to use those points for a weekend outing and had thought of PEK on CX via HKG. Unfortunately there is a direct JAL flight so AA wants me to take that instead.

Is there a destination within the 25K range for which one would have to travel through HKG? (Anything except SIN or BKK).

I don't know much about OW and its routes, etc - so your comments are most appreciated.
